Episode 26: Anxiety
In this 26th episode, Dr. Knabb discusses one of the defining experiences of the present age: anxiety. First, he explores a secular psychological perspective on anxiety and anxiety disorders, including popular interventions in secular clinical psychology for better managing and relating differently to anxiety-related disorders and symptoms. Then, Dr. Knabb discusses a biblical view of worry and anxiety, before offering a short contemplative practice to surrender to God's providence as a response to Christian worry and anxiety in the 21st century.
